Maisie Peters Needing some time to look after her mental health.
The 24-year-old singer-songwriter said in a social media post that she will no longer join the ranks of country stars Kelsey Ballerini about her upcoming tour. This is Ballerini’s first arena tour.
“As most of you know, I’ve been on the road a lot over the past few years, and the constant traveling has really taken a toll on my mental health,” Peters wrote in a text message shared via Instagram and X. I made the difficult decision to quit for now and focus on taking care of myself.
Peters continued her heartfelt message to fans, writing that her decision to leave the tour was difficult.
“I absolutely love playing shows and being with everyone, so it wasn’t an easy decision: but I needed some time to recharge, spend more time with my family and make sure the album was everything I wanted it to be,” she continued, adding, “The most important thing is that when I step on stage in front of you, I need to get back to being the best version of myself.”
She concluded her statement by thanking her fans and apologizing for the change of plans.
“Thank you everyone for your overwhelming support,” she wrote. “I apologize to those who let me down and I hope you understand. I’ll be cheering Kelsey from the sidelines – she’s going to have her biggest show and I’m so excited for her. I love you guys.
Back in October, Peters wrote on social media that she was excited to open for Ballerini, citing her as an early influence.
“The secret is out, I will be touring with Ms. Kelsea Ballerini next year,” she wrote on Facebook at the time. “Kelsea has been one of my favorite artists ever since I was a baby songwriter, belting out “Love Me Like You Mean” on my iPod touch, and the roll-up Welcome Map was and still is. I am inspired every time I listen to it.
The British singer has previously spoken out Taylor Swift During her Eras tour, during the London leg of the tour on August 19th.
Ballerini’s tour will stop in 30 cities across the United States, kicking off on January 21, 2025 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She will be touring to promote her latest album, titled pattern.
